"Even after the Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people implying with bad jokes that Cajuns aren't smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody that would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats is a genius".

I certainly understand that the people of Greensburg are the kind of people with whom I grew up in Twinsburg, Ohio - tough, resilient and utterly unafraid to deal with their own tragedy. But if nothing else, help from others of their countrymen can be a buoy for the heart - letting them know they aren't alone.

News from the Sacramento area. Seniors here at a local High School (Christian Brothers High) Have collected funds of about $1600.00 to donate to the Greensburg graduating class of 2007. They would like to help them have a graduation to remember. This should go to caps, gowns and other things. It is nice to see some young people out there still have some compassion and values.
